Hello friends! Today I have a wedding card to share - my oldest friend asked for one. Since I used that cute couple by Lili of the Valley quite often during the last weeks I wanted to make something different today and remembered that couple by Magnolia.... I also switched from red-white-black to natural colors...

So, here´s nearly the last communion card I have to share - I am going to keep the last one as a secret for a little while. Here I used A Child's Prayer by Belles'n'Whistles. I removed the teddy bear but added a little wreath to her head - and there you have a beautiful communion child. Again I used the Rainbow with Clouds from Magnolia. I used only light colors, added a few pearls and flowers and those beautiful flourishes by Whiff Of Joy.

So, here´s another communion card - and this time a girls card was requested. Once again I used Tilda with Candle from one of the christmas collections - she´s just perfect for this kind of cards! With a few tiny pearls added to the wreath in her hair she looks really adorable. Perals, flower and flourish were my # 1 picks for embellishing this card and matching the theme I also added a little cross shaped charm.

Well, didn´t I say there will be more of those kommunion cards over the next days? So, here´s number one - for a boy. So I wasn´t able to put on all those flowers and pearls but also didn´t want to look my card too simple. So I stamped a few traditional christian images, cut them out and used those instead all the usual embellishments. I pulled out those images from a grab bag on a stamp fair a few years ago and they have been patiently waiting in my stash for this one moment they will be used. That time has come! The image itself is by Whiff Of Joy and originally it´s a groom. I took away his hat that he´s holding in the hand and voila - here you get a handsome komunion child.

Hello and happy friday! For my inspiration post at the Simply Sassy blog today I have a blue card - matching the look of the stamp and the saying "feeling blue". Missing You is the name of this stamp - and I so love it! That hair - I wish mine would be like that! And it´s so wonderful to color in....

Papers are by My Mind´s Eye and Magnolia and this is my first card that I used cheesecloth on. I love the look it adds and I am really happy to have enough of this lying around for the next... 100 years!LOL

I wanted to use this cute bear stamp by Lili of the Valley - and isn´t this great for a card you give out to someone who just made his driver´s licence? I found a few embellishments matching the car theme and added a few stars that fit nearly any theme. The saying is computer generated and means "congrats on making the driver´s license - have a save trip all the time" (wow, that´s a really long text in english LOL).

A few days ago I bought some patterned paper from Jay Jay and those are wonderfully for this theme. The row of crayons is a stamping wheel by Stampin´Up. The maths sheet was made using single number stamps.

Hello dear friends! It feels like this is the 100th kommunion card I made during the last days - and most of them were for boys. Well, I am getting short of ideas. But since there is a chance that one kid gets more than one card from my desk I want all of them be different. And so I picked this Hanglar image today... In the background I used the Rainbow and Clouds stamp from the new collection by Magnolia. I wasn´t sure if I´d ever use it but now I already used it on 2 communion cards....

And hello again because also over at Belles´n´Whistles we have a new challenge starting today. The theme is as simple as wonderful: anything goes! So get out any of your Elisabeth Bell images and join us!

Giddy Up Pony is the name of the stamp I used and once again I used kraft image to stamp my image on. I love this look, it´s only that those light colors cover the outlines of the image. So I used a very fine marker to re-draw a few of them after the coloring was done.

Hello! It´s just a minute after midnight but it means it´s monday - and that also means that there is a new challenge up at Stamps&Fun=Creativity! Our theme this week is "flower power" so let you cards be full of flowers!

At a stamp fair 2 weeks ago I bought this stamp by The Greeting Farm and now I finally inked it up. I liked the coloring on the packaging that much that I used it as inspiration when I colored my image in.

Hello and sunny sunday! Today´s card is neither extremly complicated nor is it a good picture I took but I just have to share it since it is the first one I used two of the new Magnolia stamps on: Edwin Waiting For Fish and Magnolia Branch. I covered the other leaves and blossoms on the branch and now it looks like Edwin is sitting on this branch that hangs over the pond/river.

I went with doublesided paper to make the envie/pocket - and since my girls are invited to another birthday party this turned out to be a girl-ish birthday card. So the cute fairy from Lili of the Valley was the perfect pick. On the tag I added a little envelope to put in some money.
